Glenn Close and her husband of nine years, David Shaw, have divorced, TODAY.com has confirmed.

Close, who will be starring in the London revival of stage musical "Sunset Boulevard," was married to the biotech entrepreneur since 2006, when they tied the knot in a private ceremony in Maine.

The actress had previously been married to songwriter Cabot Wade from 1969-71 and businessman James Marlas from 1984-87.

The couple had no children, though Close has a daughter (Annie Starke) from a relationship with movie producer John Starke.

"Too many women define themselves in terms of a man," Close told People in 1987. "I think of men and women as two different species. Katharine Hepburn said they should live next door and visit each other once in a while. Not a bad idea."
